Pathe made stencils for the film with their Pathechrome process to make entirely hand-colored prints of the film. Whether it got past the test stage or not, I don't know. Mary Philbin had several strips of certain scenes in her collection that were quite beautiful. Some of these are displayed on the Image/Blackhawk DVD. J. Theakston The Central Theater, Passaic, NJ

In the cases of both Phantom and Nosferatu, I hope decent scores are used - after the experimental nonsense on Kino's The Penalty and Nosferatu, I'll settle for a decent compilation of old classical records

Feb 13 07 9:43 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	*Quote:* My basic question is - which version do you prefer, and why? I had an afternoon free recently so I decided to watch the two versions of this Lon Chaney classic back to back for the first time each, beginning with Tod Browning's silent original. I thought this was a wildly entertaining story either way, though it's difficult to fairly judge one film or the other when they're viewed so close together like this. I have an article on this written by Scott Berman (he did the FMTWM article in MFTV #22) that will be in Monsters from the Vault #24 (out this summer hopefully).

My best guess will that it will be the restoration seen on the BFI and Kino discs but with the re-recording of the original score that I belive was done 10 years ago or so. Also, I guess we'll see German intertitles with English subtitle translations Perhaps the Milestone will be the same The film has undergone a new restoration that was completed recently and is currently undergoing some further digital work. Whenever it's finished (and there's no telling when - there has been so many time estimates given that it's become a running joke), that's the version that will be released on DVD by Eureka.

I stumbled upon some guy selling off rare stills on e-Bay, so I figured I'd save 'em to my computer and share 'em here before they're all sold off and stuck in some collector's drawer. I've added some to the following threads/folders: King Kong Island Of Lost Souls The Fly The Incredible Shrinking Man The Time Machine Invasion Of The Body Snatchers Rare Boris/Bela/Jack Pierce/Elsa/Glenn Strange (a thread I started in the Universal Folder) I Was A Teenage Werewolf Teenage Frankenstein The Unholy Three Links To All The Classic Monster Stills I've Posted: http://monsterkidclassichorrorforum.yuku.com/topic/30758 Last Edited By: Rakshasa Mar 30 10 6:45 PM.

That said, both films have a lot to offer that is unique and not available in the other. I watch each of them repeatedly, pretty much on an equal footing,
